The US does not have an official language. English is kind of de facto official, but there is no federally designated official language. And when someone gets their American citizenship, they are American by nationality. This guy may say he’s Chinese by ethnicity, but he’s now American by nationality.
In different words. In the USA a "naturalized citizen" is for all legal purposes, 100% 'mercan.
And that entitles them to complain about the united states and have Americans to start actually being interested with it
Also, you may have your citizenship status viewed different ways by different countries. The United States will only acknowledge your US citizenship when you become naturalized. Your country of birth may acknowledge both citizenships and consider you a dual-citizen.
30 states have named their own official languages. All of those include English, but some also name native languages (Hawaiian in Hawaii, three dialects of Sioux in South Dakota, and 20 different native languages in Alaska). American Samoan (Samoan), the Northern Marianas Islands (Chamorro), Guam (Chamorro and Carolinian), and Puerto Rico (Spanish) also have other official languages alongside English.
New Mexico has no official language, but has given Spanish special recognition since it joined the union in 1912, and has been one of several states with "English Plus" laws encouraging bilingualism since the early 1990s. Several others have a specific list of languages in which government documents and services must be provided (for example, French in Louisiana).
@@MWSin1 very interesting!
The underground railroad builder comment referred to a couple of things. Lots of Chinese came over in the mid-1800s to build railroads, or that's what they wound up doing anyway. And the underground railroad was an organization that helped slaves escape to the north. It was definitely geared toward an American audience, and I'm not sure how many Americans would have caught it.
I should have hoped Americans would have understood Underground Railroad
The darker details being left out here are that the reason Chinese Immigrants were used so widely to build the railroads that traverse the expanse of this large nation during it's westward expansion was because it's very advantageous when having a very dangerous job to do, to also have a large group of people that are considered expendable because there are lots of them, they're desperate, and you don't give a shit what happens to them. For example, if you needed to dangle somebody over the side of a cliff with dynamite by a rope and slowly lower them down, it's helpful to have such a group of people to do it since there's a significant chance of them blowing up or falling to their death, and also maybe blowing up on impact. Which is also the origin of an old American expression that you're probably not familiar with, "Not a China man's chance!"
I think you mean non Americans. As an American I definitely got it and thought it was absolutely brilliant, clever and quite funny!!! The band half Asian and black is already funny!
@@kenlang1070 no. They meant that you're one of the Americans that would get it, but most Americans don't know anything about their own history, or have some perverted version of it.
@@richiecabral3602 not true. Every American learns about the trans continental railroad and slavery of course. What's the point of the joke if no one gets it?!?! Half the population have a three digit IQ and if they grew up in America they got the joke. I agree many don't, but many do!
You seemed confused by the name of his rap. It’s called that because Asian immigrants built most railroads. And escaped slaves left through the Underground Railroad. It’s actually kinda clever
Very clever indeed!
The USA has no offical language but the English language is used for government/legal/business type stuff
It is, but so is Spanish, German, Vietnamese and Cantonese.
Depending on where you live.
It's done in other languages to better support the communities but English is still the primary... gov'ment worker here lol
In the 19th century, we came within 1 vote of designating German a co-official language along with English. 20th century history would for sure have been different if that had happened.
When you are American, you are an American.
There is no other country like that, not even Canada. It is one of the best things about the USA.
@@skirtchaser40 Canadians are Americans. Everyone in the western hemisphere is American.
@@flytyme I understand that.That was her mistake which a lot of people do. She calls people from the USA Americans and the people from Canada Canadians. So when I answered the question, I corrected it. I could have said Mexico, Brazil and so on. I just said Canada since most people think we are more similar. It doesn't matter which but only in the USA, you will never be called an immigrant. Your response should be directed at her, not me.
@@skirtchaser40 I always see comments from people not from the USA expressing frustration, or laughing at the "ignorance" of people from the USA calling themselves American, as if people from the USA co-opted the term. The English were calling people who lived in what is now the USA British-American or even just Americans even before the colonies declared their independence. For the most part, it stuck. I've read books and seen films in languages other than English (not translations or subtitles) and people from the USA are referred to as "American" while other people from the western hemisphere are not. I've watched sporting events from other countries and the commentators (not from the USA) will refer to the athletes from the USA as Americans, while other participants who are also by definition "American" are not. It's not universal, but while geographically obviously everyone from the western hemisphere is American, the real world reality is different. People who are not from the USA like to pretend that is just yet another weird thing that people from the USA do, but in truth for a great many people in the world USA = American. Fair or unfair, right or wrong, that is the real world reality
@@skirtchaser40 Trust me, there are a LOT of people in the USA that will still call you an immigrant or call you by the nationality of the country you moved here from if you moved here from another country, regardless of your citizenship status.
I think it was the author Neil Gaiman who walked into Mexico, and could not walk back into the US because he forgot his passport. He spent a few hours in the small concrete room waiting for someone to bring him his papers. The trope of Asian parents and their kids education must be true. It comes up a lot.
Jimmy O. Yang bringing the US history jokes. That was good one that went over Diane's head there at the end.
Video idea: How to Spot an American.
To a European he looks American. But to a lot of Americans, he looks (and sounds) foreign. A common complaint among immigrants to the U.S. is that they're always seen as foreign no matter how long they've been here. It sometimes even extends to Asians or Hispanics who were born in America.
The U.S. has no official language. English is by far the majority language, and most of our signs and official documents are in English (although it's sometimes possible to get documents in other languages). One place I know that has street signs in a language other than English is Chinatown in San Francisco (and also the Chinatown in Oakland).
If you become a naturalized American citizen, your nationality is American. You retain your ethnicity. There are Americans who claim foreign ethnicity (like Irish, or Chinese, or Persian), even though their families have been in the U.S. for several generations.
The underground railroad was a secret system before the Civil War by which slaves would escape to the north (even to Canada). Many of the workers who built the transcontinental railroad (which connected the east and west coasts of the U.S. in the mid-19th century) were Chinese. So someone who's half Black and half Chinese would be an underground railroad builder. I can see why you didn't get this - it depends on historical cultural knowledge. The joke is a bit of a stretch even if you do get the references.
The business of sagging your pants comes from prison, where inmates are often given ill-fitting clothes from a donations box. In gangsta rap circles, if you wanted to look tough, you'd dress like you were in prison. Pretty sad, IMO. Fortunately, this style seems to have faded away.
Personally, I find Jimmy O Yang pretty funny. I think his humor may not translate well for someone who didn't grow up in the U.S.
He sounds very American. And I think he looks very American, I can see why Europeans would see him and go “American”.
Yes, how to spot an American from his "swagger"
Love Jimmy ! He was in Space Force. He does a bit about soap which is pretty funny, (kinda gross but). He does look very young. The Dragon Ball bit you missed in a previous joke. He mentioned how he used fake Asian holidays to get out of helping friends move and used the Dragon Ball Lychee holiday as an example.
"He really does look about 18 doesn't he?"
So do you Diane. 😂 Good skincare!
My Grand Parents always said they were Danish Americans. They made their kids learn English and only spoke Danish when they were alone.
Hi Diane! I am actually half Japanese, but have a 100% American Diet. And I have crossed the border from Tijuana to Mexico and yes, the line can be huge. But at the time me and my friends were in the Navy, so we didn't normally have a problem crossing. One time though some friends of mine got in trouble at the border, so me and a friend (who spoke fluent Spanish) had to rescue them. They were really drunk and it was a fun ride back to San Diego. Have a great weekend!
We don't have any official languages but English is the lingua franca
I once walked from El Paso into Juarez, Mexico. This was pre-9-11 when security was not so strict. Like you, I was suprised when I was not asked for I.D. to enter the country. Upon setting foot in Mexico, I was immediately spotted as a tourist. Perhaps it was my polo shirt and camera bag. Within the first 100 yards of the border I was approached in rapid succession by at least five men, each dressed in white pants and white button down shirt. Each one asked me variation of the same question. "Cab?" "No," with increasing exasperation to each inquiry, "I do not need a cab."
It was the final guy who explained I was being offered a service in addition to the cab ride. (In his case, it was to take me "to a girl for a massage." Answer was still no.)
El Paso had a trolley (basically a bus) that ran people round trip to "the market", years ago. Juarez was a city that was different than any other city I'd been to.
Weird. I’m from El Paso. So funny seeing someone mention home here ! lol.
"Underground railroad builder" lol That was clever and funny. And probably offensive.
Maybe I'm not a typical American. but I've been mistaken for a local in Europe several times. Maybe it's my height of 197 cm, or just that I know my height in cm. Once, a guy started talking to me in German, and I responded, "Sprech langsamer bitte, oder auf Englisch." He was relieved, since he was Dutch, and said his English was much better than his German.
As a country of immigrants, the US considers you an American once you have a US passport, regardless of where you come from. That's why many Americans use hyphens (Egyptian-American, French-American) because nationality (as well as ethnicity) isn't always one or the other. It's kinda like how a child born in Ireland (at least since 2005) without an Irish citizen parent isn't considered an Irish citizen. But they can become naturalized to become Irish.
7:57 There really is no official language in the United States. Most documents, signs are in English since the majority of people speak and read English. Living in a Texas border town some signs and street names are English some in Spanish. In central Texas some towns have the street sings in English and German. A lot of the naming of towns, streets, building are named after the immigrants that founded the area. One of the oldest dance halls in texas is called Gruene Hall.. German spelling of Green
Occassionally, someone on the right will argue for making English our national language, but it smacks of xenophobia and as noted, there are immigrant areas that accommodate the language of the locals. Americans like local control and the reality is that English is the de facto national language, but gov services are available in multiple languages.
The US does not have an official language. The predominant language is English, but more and more of our traffic signs are using the international symbols, instead of being in English. But in the Southwestern states our airports and other professional venues have announcements in English and Spanish. :-)
I've been to London, Rome and Paris. Every time someone stopped me and asked for directions. So I don't think you guys can spot Americans that easy, and I'd think that I really look American.
For the most part street signs are in English but information signs are in pictograms like in Europe. Also there are parts of the country where the signs are in both English and the local language.
Being America and being part Asian myself I can completely identify with that dudes parents. You have to go to school and get good grades....even if I didn't care and only wanted to chat up the substitute teacher all day.
My poor dad, when he was tan (in the summer) people would always speak Spanish to him, and he’d be like, “I don’t speak Spanish.” and he would get these looks and questions. So, anyway, he had to have his birth certificate with him when we went to Mexico because they always tried to keep him there. (He’s of Scotch-Irish decent btw, there is absolutely nothing Latin about his genes)
I'm an american guy and I enjoyed his comedy. He was pretty funny while not being way too over dramatic about being asian.
I'm going to look more of his comedy up!
"Underground railroad Building" is a play on words.
Before and during the American Civil War escaped slaves escaped on foot north to freedom on what was called the Underground Railroad. It was not underground nor a railroad. It was a network of hiding places.
During the 1860's Chinese were first recognized in the American West as railroad builders. They did a lot of the work on the Western end of the first Transcontinental railroad.
I send my thoughts and condolences to anyone with family or friends in Creeslough, County Donegal. Diane, I hope you've no friends or family affected by the blast. Best wishes to everyone in the area.
I'm an American and am surprised how often other Americans think I'm European until they hear me speak. I think that just means I'm well dressed 😊
It has happened to me before as well. It's your clothes and the way you walk
I feel him on the tall girls wearing heels. Nothing wrong with it. I remember my senior year in high school, I asked this girl to prom, she said yes, and she was taller than me, and she wore high heels to the dance. The photo of that day popped on my memory on FB, and I sent it to her, and told her "you were already taller than me, and you had the audacity to wear high heels 😂😂"😂
she was class, and you are still too dumb to appreciate it,,,,
Nothing wrong with going out with a girl who is natually taller than one even if she wears heels. I went out with a girl in my latter school years the same age as I but she was 5'10" in bare feet and she wore 3" heels when out , I'm 5' 3". We are all the same length when lying down, everything is lined up. It did earn her a few bitchy remarks though from both sexes, she just told them to F... Off in her beautiful cut glass RP accent.
@@tonys1636 damn straight. The important thing is to have fun.
The official language of the United States is officially none. English is functional in most places. Spanish and French should be most places (as well dual SAE/ Metric signs), but there is a unfortunately a large English only crowd.
Jimmy gained wide fame as a character on an HBO comedy series called Silicon Valley, which is fantastic! He was very funny on that show.
Hi Diane, Love your channel - so you know, Jimmy O Yang became famous through a very very funny show called Silicon Valley (on HBO).
If you saw me in Ireland with my tennis shoes, jeans, and Nike baseball cap, you’d never be able to figure out I was an American. I blend in perfectly!
1. When you are granted citizenship you pledge your allegiance to the United States and therefore are consider "American" (no matter what your country of origin). 2. "English" is the official language of the United States (and the only language recognized as "official").
The US doesn't have an official language as defined by any federal law. However, its use is so ubiquitous that it has ended up being the defacto "official" language
@@NatckGogg not sure what reasons are for no official language except to foster acceptance and accomodations for non English speakers
Yeah technically each State can define a state language. But federal level no. And a good chunk of states do have English as such but like New Mexico has English and Spanish on the docket. Some states have not defined it.
Here's a link/chart.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Official_languages_of_U.S._states_and_territories
I think colonization is what’s being described here. Lol
@@kenlang1070 It's just that they never got around to determine 1. At 1 point it was almost German in the late 1800s because of the number of immigrants. If they were to try and force 1 language to be the official language at this point it would be a chaotic mess
All of my ancestors are American born at least three generations back, but both of my parents grew up with some German being spoken at home because some of their great grandparents spoke it as their first language. Had Polish great grandparents and have inherited mostly food words from them.
I don't know if my paternal grandmother's Irish ancestors spoke Irish when they came over. I don't know if the British suppressed Irish at some point, but you know the phrase "they've got form". I do know that none of that part of the family used it the way that the Germans did.
New York City has people speaking 600 different languages.
During the Mexican/American war, Irish conscripts switched sides and fought with Mexico. Lots of Irish descendents.
Look into it, it's a great story
There were a few Irish mercenaries in Latin American history, as well
San Patricios or Saint Patrick's brigade. Irish immigrants who found more common ground with their Catholic Mexican brothers than with the Protestant Americans who were discriminating against them in the US. Very interesting story!
The reason that America doesn't have all of their street signs in every language that is spoken is:
1. Someone would complain that one of the signs was "spelled wrong" and we would have to repaint/replace that portion of the sign the way they SAY it should be spelled.
2. Some of the languages use characters that mean something totally different from what similar looking characters mean, making them difficult to read at driving speeds.
3. Some words don't translate well from English to other languages, so if the word doesn't translate into a word in that language, what do you do? For instance, "Pepsi Brings You Back to Life" translates to "Pepsi Brings Your Relatives Back From the Dead" in Japanese, and "Nova" translates to "Doesn't Go" in Spanish.
4. It would create a shortage of whatever metal alloy used to create the wall of signs that would stretch from the top of the wall of signs to the ground.
5. We need to SAVE the metal for the portions of the wall on the Southern border that SOMEONE refuses to finish. 😁
The "Underground Railroad" referenced was pertaining to a series of safe-houses used during the Civil War era to smuggle slaves from the South to North, where they could become free people. The stops were created mostly by "abolitionists" in the South who put their own homes or "out-buildings" (barns, guest houses, crawl spaces under their porches) on a list that runaway slaves would receive that would guide them along to places they could hide in until it was safe to move to the next stop on the route.
His explanation to the cop, he was going to pretend to be a tourist going to Dragon Ball Z anime convention. Lots of gems in this reaction thanks!
He's actually on a big HBO series. Yeah, he's funny.
Thanks this really made me laugh.
Great job Diane.
(Underground Railroad refers to freeing black slaves, Railroad builders refers to the Asian's that built the western railroads Underground Railroad Builders)
"This cat is uh real comedian!"
Unground Railroad Builders refers to 2 different things. 1) Unground railroad is the name that slaves used to escape slavery in the Southern US to freedom in the Northern US/Canada. 2) Railroad builders refers to the large number of Chinese immigrants who helped build the US Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s
The USA has no official language but English is the most used and the default.
Canada has two official languages, English and French. when you enter any airport in Canada you will see every sign with the text in English and French, and every announcement repeated once in English then again in French. All federal laws must be passed in both official languages.
Each province also has official languages. From British Columbia to Ontario, it's English; in Quebec, it's French; in New Brunswick it's English and French; and in Nova Scotia it's English, Mi'kmawi'simk and Gaelic.
It was mind blowing when I went to Dublin and at the airport saw the signage in English, Irish and Chinese.
For legal purposes, nationality matches your citizenship. Casually, it can be used for your ancestry and/or place of origin.
Underground Railroad workers. American history reference you wouldn’t understand. 😂
I don't care what you say Diane. You are a beautiful young woman, you have a sweet, funny personality, and all your loyal fans love you.
Since you did not initially know if he was American or Canadian, they must share at least some of the swagger. I have been too long in the USA to really notice, but I can spot British people at 1609M
Underground railroad builder 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jimmy did solid work in Silicon Valley as Jian Yang.
In America there was a group of people that smuggled runaway slaves out of the South and this was known as The Underground Railroad. Many Chinese workers were used to build the railroads in the western part of America.
I didn’t know that he was a standup comedian! He was great in the movie Crazy Rich Asians. Good movie!
It would be interesting if the street signs in the US were in every commonly used language. They'd be pretty big though.
Hi Diane! I was just watching your first George Carlin reaction video. I’m glad that I got to see you again before my job gets too busy. Give Chewie a tummy rub for me.
Okie!😊
Same thing, just about, for the border of US and Canada.. and, yes, English is the National language of America; however, we generally also translate most government and State documents into, Spanish, Chinese (Both Mandarin and Cantonese), and Tagalog (Phillipines) to ensure that a majority of the population can participate in elections and government.
While there might not be a official US language you can get government forms in multiple languages such as English Spanish chinese vietnamese Korean if they have them available
This was kinda fun, thanks You!
So glad you posted! 🤍🤍🤍
I would love to see her do a video on the comedy Central roast of flavor Flav I will say though if any of y'all look it up be warned it is racist like a 1942 newspaper it's bad enough that it made katt Williams who was the roast master quit doing roasts all together
No, when you gain American citizenship you are officially an American. Some people are dual citizens, but apparently you have to renounce any allegiance to any "Crown." I'm not sure about other countries and their leaders, but that's just what I've heard. Also, most naturalized Americans probably know more about our history, Constitution, etc. then most naturally born American kids...
Diane Jimmy O is 35 years old 😄
Let's see how many people comment on how the US doesn't have an official language. Or that the Underground Railroad was how slaves escaped from the South to the North during the Civil War.
About 50 so far 😂
You assess him accurately. He is apt
If you get your American citizenship you are nationalized American. And a nationalized American is an American. 100%.
Regarding the traffic stop, reminds me of a joke about the American driving in Spain 🇪🇸 and runs a stop sign. A police officer pulls the American over, and of course he tells the officer that since the sign was in Spanish, he didn’t understand it. The officer makes him go back and to the American surprise the sign says “STOP” In English! As you know of all the road signs in Europe the only one which is pretty much standard is the STOP sign in English!
Someone below already explained the underground railroad builder joke....but it was geared towards Americans and those that paid attention in history class. It's a genius joke....he's Chinese, Chinese came over and built railroads (not exactly willingly) and the underground railroad was not just an organization but also a series of safe houses, tunnels, rendezvous points for escorting escaped slaves to freedom. This is genius because one of the other guys was black and the third guy was blasian.
No official language in the US, but street signs are generally English, icons, or both. But interesting story - in Virginia Beach, many signs are in English and French. Apparently it's a big tourist destination for people from France.
In the Us you can order up to15 different languages of the DMV book on highway safety.
Two points: yes, he was an American, if he wanted to be. There's a line in National Treasure where Gates first meets Dr. Chase (Diane Kruger). He identifies her accent and says "Oh, you're German." She replies "No, I'm American; I just wasn't born here." In other words, you're an Ameican when you decide you are.
As for Mexico/El Salvador, that''s not racist. l've worked with a lot of Mexican cooks the past 30 years, but sometimes you'll meet other countries. We had one cook who got very upset when we called him Mexican; he would exclaim "I'm Salvadorean!!!" 😆 I suppose it's like an Irish person being called Scottish.
As others have said, there is no official language, but the de facto standard is English.
Not may street signs in other languages; I believe that's why the highway system migrated to symbolic signs. However Spanish is _very_ common in automated phone systems. It's not unusual to hear (in Spanish) "press 2 to hear this in Spanish," and the courts in large cities have translators in all sorts of languages in case a defendant doesn't speak English. I believe you can request ballots in some alternative languages as well.
Fun Fact: there's a restaurant near where I grew uip called The Century Inn (which makes it just contemporary in Irish years) that once was part of the Underground Railroad in Ohio. It's still in business today.
So funny, I just sent you a patreon message that my American was showing. Nice to know you already knew😁
😂 I haven’t checked in yet cos I’m out with Caitriona but accurate! 😅
@@DianeJennings Sláinte😊
Thanks for stopping by Diane BOOP
Absolutely NOT Diane! I'm a retired cis white male who taught immigration studies at uni, AND I was married to a SKorean national who I helped get her citizenship, And ethnic Asians are NOT ever considered Americans by most other Americans even if their great grands came here in the 1890s, and they've never lived anywhere else. This is a very hardcore fact about Am culture which I also taught to oblivious freshmen for 25 yrs...
And when my spouse joined me living and traveling thru Mexico&Guatemala, NOBODY thought she could be American, even when they knew she was my wife. It was always "De Japon?" or "De China?"
It's a major burden endured frequently when of Asian ethnicity in much of the rest of the world.
Thanks for sharing the video
10:26 Certain kind of look? You mean LeatherJacketGuy? 🤣🤔
Here's an Irish curse for ya: Your nail will bend backward OWWWW
That's the greatest thing about America when you become a citizen you are American
I discovered him in the movie Crazy Rich Asians. Great movie
The best day of the week, and we get a Diane Von Jennings videos. Have you watched the Geography Now, RUclips channel. He did a video of Ireland
No but I’ll check it out!
That’s the problem: We don’t have an official national language. All street signs are in English, but the govt still publishes docs and voting in literally 100 languages it’s ridiculous.
Non-Americans can pay a (expensive) fee, study for a citizenship test, and stay out of trouble while working and then become legal American citizens, officially breaking ties with other countries (as part of the oath, new citizens must swear to uphold the laws of this country alone over all others).
5:59 He's not speaking casually - American is now his nationality. Asian is his ethnicity, but he's a part of the American nation.
Happy Friday! I really enjoy this video.Have a very good weekend.
someone from El Salvador wouldn't say "pinche chinito", the expression "pinche" is exclusive from Mexico 🤣
The underground railroad was how slaves escaped from the south during slavery. It was a series of hidden tunnels, homes, and transportation to the northern states.
"Underground Railroad Builder" The Underground Railroad was an escape route for black slaves to get to Canada, were slavery was already abolished by 1793. Most of the railway systems in the USA and Canada were originally built by Chinese labourers.
In California we do have signs in English and Spanish, even Vietnamese
English is far and away the most commonly spoken language in the US, but there has simply never been a legal declaration of any official language in the US.
U.S. has no official national language. There are some areas where you'll see signs in different languages though, especially up on the northeast border near Canada, you'll see signs in both English and French
Once you get U.S. citizenship, you're an American even if you're not originally from the U.S.
Jimmy O. Yang was in Crazy Rich Asians.
Diane like others have written The U.S doesn't have an official language. I will say that almost all legal documents are in English. English is the most spoken language followed by Spanish.
Actually, it has come up several times but the liberals in congress have shot down every attempt for our government to declare a national language. Switzerland has 3, German, French and German. Canada has 2 English and French. The USA has no officially declared language standard, though English is spoken and written nearly everywhere. Underground Railroad Builder = The "underground railroad" was the term given to a network during the US Civil War to smuggle slaves from the south to free state in the north and "railroad builder" refers to the predominantly Chinese immigrants that worked on the trans-continental railroad connecting the east and west coast during the western expansion (of the continent) in US history.
Underground Railroad Builder - The underground Railroad was a system of safe houses and paths for American black slaves to escape the South. Harriet Tubman being the most famous "Conductor", a person who helped guide them to freedom. Railroad Builder references the very harsh conditions of East Asian immigrants who built the actual railroads in the American West. You can see a nod to them in the opening scene of Mel Brooks' movie Blazing Saddles. And the associated anti-asian racism Mel was also trying to take the power away from.
Citizenship = Nationality. Ethnicity is different. Jimmy is now an American of Chinese heritage.
Humorful and from his personal truth
I love Jimmy Yang.
The Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, and ALL laws are written in English therefore English is THE official language.
15:35 American here, so I can actually kind of explain the joke. My US History is a little bit rusty, but from what I remember, the underground railroad was a tunnel used by african american slaves about 30 years before the american civil war so that they could flee to canada and start a better life. I imagine with just that information alone you can figure out the joke lmao
Underground railroad, that was a witty joke. I don't think most foreigners would get that one.
Each video, Diane's little curses sound amusing and not too harmful. But...IMAGINE if you NEVER liked or subbed, and all those curses just piled up. Life would be REALLY irritating, lol. Devious!
Jimmy O'Yang. He's Irish ☘🇮🇪🥢
